How about a B? At first glance a B might seem like a poor choice for a year of traveling especially with a one year old but if you only have a year I'm going to assume that you'll be driving a lot and not staying anywhere for very long. The B will get better gas mileage and be much easier to drive and park. Plus you won't need to have another vehicle.
Other advantages are good resale value and less of a chance of water damage because Bs don't have the standard motorhome sidewalls and roof construction that leads to leaks.

Go to a RV show or a large dealer and walk through all of the types of RVs. You'll get a better idea of what will work for you.
One word of caution - we did this when our daughter was 3 and we liked it so much that we immediately started planning to fulltime when she entered college. It gets it your blood! ;-)
